    Citalopram - increasing my dose...help!!

    Hi;

    I've been taking 10mg citalopram for a while now, probably about 5 months. However I'm increasing my dose to 15mg - I'm not quite where I want to be yet.

    Just wondering if anyone else has increased and if there are usually side-effects that accompany this? I'm a bit scared as I remember how crappy the side-effects were when I started them and I don't want to go through that again!

    Any advice?

    Thanks!
    Tasha xx

    Hi Tasha, I have just upped mine today from 5mg to 10mg and so far so good, I too hated the side effects, they really frightened me but I think if you just up it by 5mg you should be fine. I will be upping it again to 15mg next week. Dont be scared, i'm sure you will be ok.

    Best wishes,

    Polly

    Hi basha!
    I have been on them 3months and just this week have upped them to 20mg.I went from 10mg to 15mg a month ago and had no side affects.I really think its the best thing to do is up them slowly as when you come off them you come off them slowly.If that makes any sense!
    I had loads of side affects when i started them but none really when i upped them last time.Dont no about this time i will have to wait and see.I hope this helpsxxxxxxxxx
